The government further isolates them by vilifying- them in the media. by taking away their telephones. by constantly surveilling them. and through physical attacks on them. The persecution does not end here. Jewish "activists". or more correctly. Jews who actively demand recognition of their rights to emigration. to pursue their culture and. to study the Hebrew language are subject to arrests. trials. and prison and labor camp sentences. Many are victims of brutal beatings. Mr. Speaker. the state of affairs of these Jews has moved me to request from Mr. Gorbachev that such inhumane actions cease. I particularly conveyed my concern over the beatings of Yuli Edelshtein and Yosif Berenshtein and the recent conviction of Evegeny Alsenberg and the trial of Dan Shapira.
